English translation
[51] It was narrated that 'Âsim said: "We used to go to Abû 'Abdur-Rahmân Al-Sulamî when we were young boys, and he used to say to us: 'Do not sit with the storytellers except for Abū Al-Aḥwaṣ, and beware of Shaqīq.' And He said: 'This Shaqīq held some Khārijī views, but he was not Abū Wā'il.'"
